These gonna feel like you walking on nothing.

 

[mp23]

Flyknit eh? That is crazy. But like guys been saying, I am sure its not like the runners, has to be woven in certain areas because that wouldn't give any lateral support. I am sure these are gonna be priced at $160 since the Flyknit Lunar1 is $160 and the Trainer and Racer are $150.

 

[v3nomenon]

I'm actually a little worried about these.  I am not a fan of Flyknit chukkas, and if these are mid I may not like them.  However, I do love my three pairs of Flyknits.  There is no limit to what can be done with the colorways.  I'm looking forward to seeing the shoe.

I actually think the Chukka's are the best model out the Flyknit series to date, amazing IMO but before I had a pair I was skeptical. I'm excited to see what will be done with the 9's..... I'm a Flyknit addict and I love the Kobe line so this is combining my 2 favorites

 

[djyoung08]

Flyknit upper?

Im down.

hopefully the comfort will be up there with the kobe 8



I'll cop at least 3

Finally some info

 

[mister friendly]

Why do y'all like Flyknit material so much?

try it out and you'll know why instantly.

 

[Kobekobe]

the question is.. will flynit be supportive enough? i mean for running shoes sure, you're RUNNING. i actually play ball in my shoes, whereas most on this forum buy shoes and either store them in the closet or wear them once a year for a special event.

but cutting, jumping? iunno man.. will have to wait and see.

Actually looks EXACTLY like it. How reputable is this IGer?

 

[jordan23dotcom]

180 msrp I'm calling it

 

[dark steel]

Can't wait until December to see what these will be like...

I love my Flyknit Racers and Trainers... combine that with the comfort of the Kobe 8, and this could possibly be magic in the making...

 

[lseasick]

Why do y'all like Flyknit material so much?

For me it's comfort and style...and something different...ever since the Olympics I've been a flyknit fan, love my lunars and chukkas

 

[thapointguy]

180 msrp I'm calling it

I wouldn't doubt it. |I

 

[s dubl]

Flyknit is nice, but IMO its overrated and overpriced... I hope I don't feel the same when the 9s drop.

 

[kobeoverbron]

overpriced indeed due to labor cost/processes.

hella excited.

 

[jslimm 1985]

I'm ready..... I prefer mids for ball.

I like flyknit for the most part but I feel like they could've continued to build on the EM. All in all I'm excited.

 

[onlydsdunks703]

hopefully these will come out with some solid uppers, kindof over the patterns on the 8s

 

[just another pair]

I love lows but I am excited for mids now and hopefully no more lunar.

 

[jslimm 1985]

hopefully these will come out with some solid uppers, kindof over the patterns on the 8s

I'm with you on that for the most part.

 

[seandon23]

I wanna see kobe play in these because the flyknit does surprise me. I mean him coming off a big injury like that and not wanting something stronger to support him surprises me but nike knows what they are doing

 

[maverick24]

I would have thought they were going with the fuse material. Or that new armor material on the lebron 11. I hope they are sexy.

 

[nelson999]

i really hope they arent mids, i love the lowtop look of the 8s.  i also pray that they dont do the stupid toe swoosh like the KD6/Hyperdunk2012/mambacurial/soccer cleat

 

[comacoma33]

Worries about the side to side movement with flyknit.

I am guessing $200 MSRP
